Club career

edit

Youth years

edit

Rolland is a product of Lille OSC, which he joined at the age of eight. He spent 10 years at the club's academy before and later also at the clubs reserve team, before leaving the club by mutual agreement in September 2022.[2] After leaving, Rolland stayed in training at Iris Club de Croix.

Lyngby BK

edit

After just under four months without a club, Rolland signed with Danish Superliga club Lyngby Boldklub on January 3, 2023, where he was given a contract until June 2025,[3][4] after having been on trial at the club in the month leading up to it.[5] In his first half-season in Lyngby, Rolland made just four appearances; two for the club's U-19 team and two for the club's reserve team.

In search of more playing time, Rolland was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club Vendsyssel FF on August 22, 2023.[6] However, it was a very disappointing stay, with only three performances for Rolland, which is why the loan spell was terminated early, on February 1, 2024.[7] Later that day Rolland was presented to Danish 2nd Division club FA 2000 for the rest of the season.[8]

Ahead of the 2024-25 season, Rolland was once again back in Lyngby. He made his official debut for the club on August 26, 2024 in a league match against Viborg FF.[9][10]
